City reports $10.4 million bond and TDEC corrective action for Tennessee National Marina District Phase 2
Summary
City staff told the planning commission the final plat for Tennessee National Marina District Phase 2 has been certified and an executed subdivision bond of about $10,400,000 is on file; TDEC has required a corrective action plan for stormwater and erosion in Pods 29–30 and will inspect follow-up measures.
City staff provided the planning commission with an update on the Tennessee National Marina District Phase 2 final plat, saying the plat has been certified and an executed subdivision bond is now on file.
‘‘The bond amount is approximately $10,400,000, based on engineers’ opinion of probable cost and a review by LUB and city department heads,’’ City staff said, noting the executed bond is stored in the city safe.
The update also addressed recent complaints about stormwater runoff and erosion in Pods 29 and 30 near Matlock Bend. Staff said the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has required a corrective action plan and will inspect the site; TDEC’s permit‑viewer site hosts the corrective action documentation and inspection records.
Staff described required changes including a state‑required sediment basin that the city will ask the developer to convert to a detention basin to reduce runoff, amended erosion‑control plans to account for stockpiled material, and follow‑up inspections. Staff also flagged wetlands near the proposed grading and said the state is managing jurisdictional wetlands and any related violations.
Commissioners asked staff to clarify how the new roadway shown on the final plat — Tennessee National Marina Way — fits into the overall master plan and whether the public‑road designation would require standard developer posting of road‑improvement bonds. Staff said the plat shows the proposed public right‑of‑way and that bonds for improvements are included in the final‑plat conditions; staff will provide a clearer map and further explanation to the commission.
Members of the property owners association told the commission they felt insufficiently informed and said a Tennessee National representative had previously promised to update the POA; staff said they had not been representing the owner that day but will work with TDEC and the owner to ensure corrective measures are implemented.
Staff characterized the item as an informational report and said no formal action was requested at the meeting; staff said it will follow up with TDEC and the developer and share KDA’s inspection report when it is released.
Next steps: staff will request developer clarification about gating and public‑road connections, post the KDA inspection report when available, and continue coordination with TDEC on the corrective action plan.
